What’s so Hot About Talikud Island?

Excellent Diving sites. Promising tourist attractions.
Commendable palm-lined beaches. These are what Talikud Island can offer to its
visitors. Talikud Island is located in the South-West area of the Samal Island.
It is about 1 hour away from the Sta. Ana wharf, Davao City and you can reach
this Island via a boat.

You can do a lot of things at Talikud Island. If you are
planning for wild adventure and ultimate beach experience, this is a perfect
choice for you especially if you are here in Davao.

Here are the things that you can do at Talikud Island:

SCUBA Diving

With the help of SCUBA diving
guides, you can learn the basics of SCUBA diving. You need to know first the
do’s and dont’s before you can go deep down the sea.

For the first timers, it could be a
little bit difficult to dive, but just think of what you can see underwater and
the tense will just go away.

Once you are in synch with the
water, the excitement starts.

Aside from the blue and clean sea
water, diving at Talikud Island is a must experience. If you want to see the
underwater world of Talikud Island, you can visit this link for my diving
experience:

With the help of snorkelling equipment,
you can just view the coral and the fishes from sea surface.

3. Swimming

Who can say no to waves and blue
water? Of course you can’t just stay there and stare the sea under the heat of
the sun. You can go and swim. Just don’t forget to put on some lotion to avoid
sun burn.

4. Island Hopping

We went to three different parts of
the Island. With the help of this boat, we have explored different excellent
diving spots in Talikud Island.

First stop: Angel’s cove

Angel’s cove has healthy coral
reefs and I can say this is a commendable diving spot.

The water is very clear that
you can just snorkel to see the underwater living species.

Second Stop: Babu Santa

Clean and reserved Island. This is
where we stayed for lunch. Despite the fact that the island is a little bit
crowded, cleanliness is their first priority here.

Third Stop: The west part of Angel’s
Cove

For our third and final stop, we
went to this part of the angel’s cove. This area is deeper than the other
islands we visited. And if it is deeper, you can even see more unique sea
creatures and an ultimate island hopping experience.

5.Pig Outing

What is Island hopping and diving
without foods?

Imagine you are at the beach and
you have delectable food in front of you. I may say it’s an awesome pig out
moment.

Next time you visit Davao City, experience the hotness of
Talikud Island, and I swear you will never regret it.

I've always been proud of what the Philippines has to offer... I know our country is such a great place... and I really hope more and more people can appreciate that and start doing their own little thing not just to spread the news but help protect it as well
